Page 30 Dear Client, Numerous studies have shown that those who create and stick to a financial plan achieve significantly more wealth than those without a plan. Of course, any plan is only as good as the assumptions that underpin it. If those assumptions are wrong, your goals could suffer. On page 30, we examine seven incorrect assumptions investors often make—and provide tips for addressing them. Onward aims to provide insights that help you create and sustain a healthy financial life, so elsewhere in this issue you’ll find stories on combating increasingly sophisticated phishing scams (page 6), the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on charitable giving (page 34) and guidance for starting a business in retirement (page 38). If you need help creating or reevaluating your financial plan, I encourage you to reach out to us at 877-297-1126. We welcome every opportunity to help you achieve your goals.

A ccording to research from the Pew Charitable Trusts, companies that auto-enroll employees in workplace retirement plans such as 401(k)s have participation rates that exceed 90%—well above the 50% for opt-in plans.

For example, imagine someone who makes $80,000 per year, contributes 3.4% to her 401(k) and receives an equal amount from the employer’s match, and earns 6% annual returns.

Such guidance would alleviate many of the issues that have arisen for the mutual fund industry under the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule (the “DOL Rule”). Further, the proposed guidance would allow for a brokerage model where funds, ETFs, individual securities and other ‘like’ investment options could compete on returns and fees. The proposed model also preserves choice for investors who prefer to invest through a brokerage model and provides further transparency regarding the fees they pay and the associated services.
